Stopped working after a security update on Mojave #9

Today I installed the latest security updates for Mojave and forceFullDesktopBar has stopped working. I tried to disable SIP and reinstall the utility several times, but nothing worked. What could be the problem?

briankendall commented 4 years ago

Looks like the new security update has broken mach_inject, which forceFullDesktopBar relies on to modify the Dock. I've created an issue on its github page and with any luck there'll eventually be a fix. mach_inject is some deep black magic that I have very little understanding of, though, so this likely isn't something I can fix on my own.

For situations like these I recommend using missionControlFullDesktopBar as an alternative since it doesn't rely on code injection, though it's admittedly not as good, especially when using a trackpad.

Got it, let's hope it would be fixed soon

Hi, has this been fixed?

briankendall commented 3 years ago

@Brin-o It might be actually. I just tested it out on a fully up-to-date 10.14.6 system (so security update 2021-05 is installed), and forceFullDesktopBar was still working.

@Vitkarus Are you still able to reproduce this issue?

Vitkarus commented 3 years ago

@briankendall @Brin-o I’m currently using forceFullDesktopBar on latest versions of Mojave and Catalina, and on both machines it works without any issue.

Thanks for the update. I'm going to go ahead and close this issue then. If this comes back feel free to post a comment and request it be reopened.
